Proposed SVCT gene evolution in Non-Bilateria (SVCTNB), protostomian Non-Lophotrochozoa (SVCTP NL), protostomian Lophotrochozoa (SVCTP L) and basal deuterostomian (SVCT BD) species. Gene presence is highlighted in green, absence in red and uncertainty regarding gene loss/presence in light blue. Gene duplications affecting a single species of a genus are marked with a *, while those which affected two or more species from a genus within a defined taxonomic group are marked with a #. The number of species present in the final dataset and total number of species analysed for each taxonomic group can be seen within parentheses, respectively. The inferred gene duplicates are represented next to the taxonomic group names. The cladogram topology is depicted as in the Tree of Life web project [87]
